In what was the second all-countrymen final of 2005 after Buenos Aires (Gaudio d. Puerta), Nadal was 6-0, 4-0 up but needed a third set to close the match 6-0. 6-7(2), 6-1 in two hours and six minutes

Rotterdam

Croatian Ivan Ljubicic will have another crack at capturing his first ATP title of 2005 on Sunday at the ABN AMRO World Tennis Tournament in Rotterdam. Ljubicic defeated Swede Thomas Johansson 7-6(4), 7-5 in Saturday's first semifinal. The Croat's task will not get any easier in the next round however, as he faces World No. 1 Roger Federer, a 7-5, 6-3 winner over Mario Ancic. Sunday's final will be a re-match of the Doha final earlier this year, which Federer won in straight sets.

Ugh. I feel so out of touch. I was a huge tennis freak in high school. I can even pretend that I was the number one girl on the high school team, (only because the real number one player dislocated her kneecap during practice one day ) I played a bit in college and watched a little on TV back in the day. Now I don't even know who any of these people are. *feeling old* Um...they are kind of cute though.
